So I guess what I'm saying is always take testimonials with a grain of salt and realize that with any program, there's going to be people who like it and who are successful and people who don't like it or who aren't successful for one reason or another. I'm a big believer in trying something for myself if I want to determine whether it works or not.

And when programs like 60 Second Panic Solution offer a 60-day, no questions asked money back guarantee, there's really no harm in taking it for a test drive. If using the techniques from the 60 Second Panic Solution doesn't help you stop your panic attacks, or if you find that you just aren't able to successfully implement them for whatever reason, ask for your money back. No harm. No foul.

The only testimonials I tend to put a little more trust in are those that come from WITHIN a particular program. For example, programs that offer members only forums and things like that. These people have actually paid for the product (otherwise they wouldn't have access to the forum), so that's a much more reliable resource than some testimonial on a sales page or on another random site that could easily be faked.

I try to use my own access as a paying member to pull out some of these types of testimonials to share with my readers whenever I can. I'll do the same for 60 Second Panic Solution.

Weight loss with increased appetite

Weight loss in spite of an increased appetite that suggests the possibility of diabetes or hyperthyroidism.Conditions related to accelerated metabolism and weight lossNeoplasms. An unexplained weight loss in people of middle age or older should suggest the possibility of an occult tumor. The neoplasms determine weight loss by accelerating metabolic processes even in the absence of severe anatomical alterations, endocrine or metabolic.

Temperature. Infections, neoplasms, cerebrovascular lesions and metabolic disorders may be accompanied by fever. Since the basic metabolic rate increases of 7% for each degree of temperature, the fever alone can cause weight loss. Also anorexia, dehydration and increased protein catabolism that normally accompany any febrile illness may contribute to weight loss.

Anxiety and depression are among the most common causes of weight loss, so the importance of psychological and emotional problems should never be underestimated. Depression, anxiety, hysteria or severe psychosis can cause a decrease in the intake of subtle yet important food. Accurate diagnosis requires a full medical history, social and psychiatric.

Anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a psychogenic disorder, characterized by loss of appetite and refusal to eat. It occurs mainly in young women between 11 and 35 years old. Signs and symptoms: It is characterized by a loss of weight that can vary from 10 to 50% compared to the previous usual weight.

It is frequently the spontaneous self-induced vomiting or.Usually patients are hyperactive, so out of proportion to the degree of cachexia.Diarrhea can occur for abuse of laxatives.The patient can sleep a little but wake up refreshed (in contrast to depressed people, who are always tired).The acrocyanosis is frequent.The growth of axillary and pubic hair is normal.Normally patients are assumptions and bradycardia.Because of malnutrition, genital function is depressed. Commonly they observed a decrease of urinary estrogen, the absence of corneificate cells in vaginal smears, and the reduction of urinary gonadotropins. There may also be a reduction of urinary 17-keto steroids. However, the plasma cortisol levels are normal, finding that helps to distinguish anorexia nervosa from panhypopituitarism. It is also normal thyroid function.

DIETARY CAUSES

With few exceptions malnutrition in developed countries it is rare. However the possibility of nutritional deficiencies should be considered for drug addicts, alcoholics, the poor, the elderly (especially those living alone) and persons with irregular eating habits. The doctors in treating certain diseases with special diets can sometimes inadvertently prescribe diet too poor causing weight loss or worsening an existing loss.

DISEASES OF THE MOUTH AND PHARYNX

Mechanical. Unsuitable dentures or missing teeth can affect chewing the point of making inadequate quantities and quality of food.

Neurological injury. Neurological disorders affecting the ability to chew or swallow may result in insufficient food intake and weight loss. Included in this group of diseases are some conditions such as muscular dystrophy, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or lesions of the brain stem and syringomyelia.

Painful oral lesions:

Nutritional diseases, including vitamin deficiencies.Painful lesions of the oropharynx due to connective tissue diseases or other illnesses.Candidiasis, often associated with the use of antibiotics.Gingivitis or other drugs.Heavy metal poisoning.

SIDE EFFECTS OF DRUGS

The drugs can cause weight loss collaterally to their main action. The dependence on drugs (for example in the abuse of narcotics or alcohol) is a frequent cause of weight loss. The drugs can induce anorexia (for example digital), nausea and vomiting for a direct effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa. Laxative abuse can lead to poor absorption of nutrients. Finally, some drugs can cause nutritional deficiencies, which in turn can cause anorexia, reduced food intake and weight loss.ANOREXIA AND WEIGHT LOSS LIKE SYMPTOMSAnorexia and weight loss may be early symptoms or significant in the following disorders:Infectious diseases (eg tuberculosis, endocarditis).

Chronic pain syndromesDiagnostic approachIt is obviously impossible to systematically examine every possible cause of weight loss. Clues for a diagnostic approach should be sought in history and physical examination.When you cannot find any obvious cause weight loss and when they can be excluded psychogenic disorders, the diagnostic workup should include, at a minimum, the following tests:Blood count.

If the first tests come back negative, further investigations are necessary in every case of unexplained weight loss. Should be taken into account at least some of the following tests or procedures:Study of skin reactivity (egg. Tuberculin, istoplasmina).

Serological diagnosis for HIV, if necessary.In the elderly an unexplained weight loss may depend on many factors. Socio-economic factors such as loneliness and isolation can lead to malnutrition. Other possible causes are dementia, delirium, depression, reactions to medications and chronic illness. The normal aging process is manifested by periodic thinness of 2.5-5 kilograms. This fact causes not of great concern infrequently, but can be considered a normal event.

Patients with unexplained weight loss should be kept under observation until we cannot rule out a systemic disease. If the weight loss is due to organic diseases, over time, invariably, it will identify other symptoms and signs. As they appear you must perform additional diagnostic tests.

It all depends on what area you decide to massage. If the thighs, buttocks and stomach, it can handle yourself, but if it's back, it can not do without help. But remember, every area needs to be processed sequentially.

Found a product listed as safe and effective utilizing peppermint oil and clove extract among a few other things and I thought, I could totally make that and save a trip to the store. Came here to look to see if there was a carrier suggestion or any other ideas Etc and found only a discussion that said no essential oils for cats.

Any comments? The product gets good reviews and whether I buy or make it I want to make sure it does no harm. I can't seem to post the URL directly on the forum but a Google search will bring it up: Vets Best Flea and tick spray.

(Back story: I've been adopted by two feral cats who have decided becoming tame is ok because the buffet is good and house life is quite grand. I live in New Mexico off a dirt road and fleas and rodents are known to carry plague and other undesirables. Flea and tick solutions involving bathing or collars is asking a bit much and as they are outdoor cats who come in on their own terms or not at all. I want to make sure they, me, and the house stay bug free. So all ideas welcome)

In what way does it blend well? Aromatically or therapeutically? While my main interest in EOs is therapeutic, I'm also interested in making perfumes, etc. Either way, I need to understand what "blends well with..." means.

Itchy ears (and smelly ears) usually means it's time to clean them. The essential oils you could use are Bergamot and Lavender. Use 4 to 6 drops of either one in 1 Oz. (30ml) of carrier oil. Dip a cotton swab in the blend and gently remove all the dirt and wax from your dog's ears. Be extra careful not to touch the ear canal. And make sure the essential oils and the carrier oils are organic and safe.

I hope this helps everyone concerned about the health of their dog's ears

She has allergies and itches constantly (depending on the time of year). I am hoping i can find a more natural remedy to help ease her itchy suffering!

Add essential oils to the infused oil, and then stir into the gel. If you don't use infused oil, stir the essential oils straight into the gel. Slowly stir in up to 50 ml of the hydrosols until you reach the required consistency.

There is another book with recipes called Holistic Aromatherapy for Animals by Kristen Leigh Bell

I know that prednisone in the long run is not good. I had an allergic dog for 12 years and he got diabetic from the prednisone. It also kills the immune system. At the time I did not not know about alternatives. And the only thing that helped with the itching was prednisone. I have not had an allergic dog since, but also instead of feeding dog food I fed and still feed people food. I cook for my dog. He gets raw beef (sirloin, top of round...) mixed with a little bit of rice and vegetables. If the dog gets heartworm medicine or flea and tick medicine I would stop that and see what happens. The dog I had before this one, what on heartworm medicine during the summer months when the mosquitoes were too much to handle and each time he developed a staph infection. From the day I stopped the heartworm preventative when we moved to Arizona he never had another staph infection.
